You will have to make a database else where, I recommend the Atlas free teir. When you do, paste the url to the DB_URL and a random SECRET variable to the secrets.json file.

Also, if you decided to use the Redis option instead of in-memory (highly recommended), then you will have to create a Redis session store else where as well. I recommend the Redis Labs free tier. Once you make your Redis session, add SESSION_HOST, SESSION_PORT, and SESSION_PASSWORD to the secrets.json file.

Then run...

npm run deploy

If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to create an issue!

FUTURE TODO

Create an admin interface! (currently working on)

Create a few more NPM convenience commands, such as "create-admin-user" and "create-app" (which would create an MVC folder in the API, and add a page on the admin interface).

vue-cli option to choose between PostgreSQL and MongoDB (MongoDB currently implemented)
